Yes
Yes it has been. That is one of the elements in its formation and how it appears today.
If the rock has been eroded into grains, then the mixture is known as top soil.
Any type of rock can be weathered. However, as the Earth started off in a molten state, the first rocks to be weathered must have been formed from magma and were therefore igneous rocks.
They have been deposited there after being weathered and eroded from their point of origin.
